(Q) What foods should be included in weekly diet and in what
amounts?
(A) As we have indicated again and again, those that are
body building and at the same time keep in the foods the
correct balance of the vitamins for body (rather than in
chemical additions) building. These are the better foods,
and sufficient quantities to satisfy the appetite of the
body. A growing body requires plenty of Vitamins A and B and
D and C, that the structural portions may also have
sufficient from the assimilated foods, rather than being
supplied from concentrated forms of same.
Do that rather in the body-building diet. Not too much of
sugars, yet sufficient. Let the sweets be taken in such
forms as of honey, fruits, corn or karo syrup. These are
body building, also supply energies that are well for a
growing, developing body.
(Q) Should he take Atomidine?
(A) It is very well, owing to the prevalence of polio, that
a drop be taken each morning for five days occasionally, -
say once a month.
(Q) Should he take Adiron?
(A) Unless there is an upsetting or an unbalance, or
tendency for cold, not necessary in the present. It is an
excellent tonic, and may be taken occasionally; one or two
pellets a day, at meals.
(Q) How can bowel eliminations be improved?
(A) Include in the diet such a prunes, prune juice, figs,
fig juices, raisins, raisin juices; all forms of this
character of fruit tend to aid eliminations, also carrying
the correct character of sugars to supply that needed - and
is in a form that is assimilated without becoming too acid
forming; though many of these fruits are acids in themselves.
(Q) Any further suggestions for maintaining maximum health
this winter?
(A) Do these, as we find the better conditions for the body.
It is well for this body, or growing bodies, or elderly
individuals also, for strength building and for correcting
the eliminations, to use this as a cereal, or a small
quantity of this with the cereal, or it may be served with
milk or cream:
Secure the unpitted Syrian or Black Figs and the Syrian
Dates. Cut or grind very fine a cup of each. Put them
on in a double boiler with just a little goats' milk in same
- a tablespoonful. Let come almost to a boil. Stir in a
tablespoonful of Yellow Corn Meal.
These are good.
We are through for the present.
